SCAM: "a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, esp. for making a quick profit; swindle."

I have earned several thousand Delta miles from e-rewards. It has not cost me a dime, only my time and willingness to fill out some surveys. It may not be the most productive miles program in the world, and their expiration rules can be frustrating, but no, it's not a "scam".
